New Mexico Ranch Earns Certified Angus Beef Sustainability Award
Producing beef in the desert Southwest takes a certain resolve, faith that the rain will come and grit to do the hard things and smile through the work when it doesn’t.

Certified Angus Beef Takes Fine Dining to New Heights to Connect with Consumers
“High Steaks” is about sharing the transformative power of food and the idea that different culinary experiences can take consumers on a journey to different destinations. In a cliff-side setting, Angus rancher Ty Walter joined actor, comedian and host Joel McHale to talk cattle production and what makes the Certified Angus Beef ® brand consistently superior – all while enjoying a four-course meal at an elevation of 8,500 feet.
Aiming for Excellence
Using the Targeting the Brand™ logo in sale catalogs helps commercial cattlemen and seedstock producers advance their herds and orient them toward more CAB qualifiers. To earn the logo, registered Angus cattle must have a minimum Marbling EPD of +0.65 and a +55 $G. This makes it easy to identify bulls with added carcass value, and potentially more dollars for your bottom line.

Lighter Carcass Weights and Shrinking Supply
Now, we’re well into the second quarter of 2023, but backing up to the first of the year, there have been two overriding trends in the fed cattle supply. The first of which has been those fewer headcounts that we’ve seen harvested on a weekly basis, down about 2.7% year to date as well.

2018 year in review
2018 beef cattle markets can be characterized by supply and demand. The U.S. beef cow herd remains in expansion, but slowing down. We need not fear a market more saturated with high-quality beef. Rather, we should embrace this shift, the fruit of a logical market response that will guarantee beef remains the preferred protein.
Success Stories
Tall tales and high standards
I’ve always been a big fan of good stories – tales of great adventure and overcoming adversity. The type of stories with characters who throw out the rulebook and make one of their own. Minnie Lou and daughter Mary Lou Bradley, along with Mary Lou’s husband James Henderson are those type of people.
Time and data will tell
“We want to be able to capture the true value of the genetics we’ve invested in,” Billy says. “And to do that, we need to hang them on the rail and see what they’re worth.”
The road ahead
Cattle from the Southeastern states have a mixed reputation for delivering carcass merit. Pockets of excellence lift that overall image.
